Lyrics
Everyone could see, by the way she looked at me
That her love was all I'd ever need
Always by my side, through the good times and the bad
She gave everything to me
But sometimes things they have a way of turning
And stop the fires burning
Before you both can tell
But don't blame me
For I can't bear the burden
It was written, it was certain
That I would be a victim of desire
Faces in the crowd, well they turned my head around
You know beauty has a way to cut you down
No mercy was I shown by the one who stole the throne
She made me a slave before I knew
And by the time I wanted her to free me
Everyone could see me
The fool I had become
But don't judge me now
Until you've heard my story
I cannot be guilty
For I was just a victim of desire
Time can make us fools, when we try to break the rules
All we leave is a trail of broken dreams
And I know I'm not alone, when all regrets are known
In wanting to go back and try again
But it's too late when no-one's there to listen
We can't be forgiven
If all the rooms are bare
To be the one who's standing all alone now
When others should be shown how
I was made a victim of desire
